I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. Promised legislation to change the treatment of family farms and businesses under the nursing home support scheme, that is, fair deal, passed pre-legislative scrutiny two weeks ago. When will Second Stage be taken and will it be marked priority legislation in respect of farms and businesses, particularly in County Limerick, for which it has considerable significance?

It is an appropriate question.

Pre-legislative scrutiny took place in November and a report is being prepared. Once that is completed, it will go to the Attorney General's office for drafting.
